The Best Tires for Your Car? 13 Brands Compared and Rated!

Were the hankooks that loud in the cabin? In the store ventus prime 4 has 69db rating…. Who should i listen to?

Hankook is the worst I ever used

I'm an OAP so not a speed merchant. I do 4K miles per year and at 20k miles on my Kia Cee'd I had 4 new Continental tyres.
At 30k on the clock I had to replace the two front tyres. This is rubbish.

I can attest to the rain performance of the extreme contacts, esp wet braking. I was going about 45mph when a van cut me off while another cut the van off all from a line, all at once. Left me about half a car, foot was hovering over the brakes, as I do that when I pass a line going the speed limit :) car: IS350

Wow Amazing content. On rolling resistance, is the extra cost if I went for the Primacy enough to cover the difference if I chose Falken over the life of the tires. How significant are the savings in costs for a petrol saloon

For 2024’s summer tire testing, I’m wondering if you can put the best summer comfort tires up against each other. For continental, they have the UltraContact and ComfortContact which are more comfort biased than sport biased. The PremiumContact 7 won in your tests for both summer touring as well as UHP, so I think it would be a good idea to have a section dedicated to comfort touring where the performance tires are not in the running. Thanks for all your hard work!

Imo tires should be part of safety testing. The gulf between tire products being so wide in the price range for normal commuter cars is unacceptable. The tire that failed the braking by 14 meters should be sold to no one and the company making such a poor product should not be in business. Other companies make cheap products that are worth buying, not that one.

Just fitted a set of four Pirelli P7 Cints run flats to my BMW 4 series Grand Coupe on 255/50/17's. They have transformed the ride, handling and noise level. It previosly had Dunlop Sports on the rear and two odd cheap tyres fitted by the previous owner on the front. You only get what you pay for.

A really fine an complete test. Congratulations!!!
Which of the bunch would be the best tire for your money for someone on a budget?

Hi there
I'd like some suggestions. I drive a crossland x diesel (195/60/16 89H) ,and I run at least about 60khm a day and totally about 20.000khm a year . I also drive in highways a lot. The car is wearing the Bridgestone T001. I want to give a try to a different manufacturer and I'm between the Falken Ziex ZE310 Ecorun and the Hankook ventus prime 4 . And what about the Kleber Dynaxer HP4?
I really want to hear your suggestion for these ones or something else.
Thanks in advance

Uniroyal rain sport 5.Have those on my mokka x.2017.There very good in wet conditions. Not bad atall in dry either. Very surprising they slipped your mind.

I own a sedan, Honda city which came with Michelin Tyres. Now michelin has stopped exporting tyres to my country, which tyre would be best to replace michelin?

Can you please include Dunlop in your reviews

well, I'd rather have a bit less grippy tire than a noisy one.
Would not give Continental the win since noise is something you have to deal with every day.

Which summer tyres would you recommend for the car Audi A3 2014 1.8 tfsi 180 HP SB Quattro automatic in size 225/45/17? I drive Nordic roads in moderate condition and more than half of the time on highways 100-140 km/h. I value comfort, but when necessary, the car's performance. Goodyer EfficientGrip Performance 2 might be my pick. I have checked your very informative reviews and wondered when it is time to pick performance tyres instead of touring tyres? If I would drive hard roads in good condition most of the time, should performance tyre will be good option in to my car?

Best Tyre for Toyota Veloz?

have a mazda 3 2015 sedan and tire size 225/45R18. have to replace the tires(bridgestone potenza) and came across Goodyear assy6 at 128 USD and Dunlop MAXX 060+ at 159 USD. which 1 you recommend?

Seriously yet again no DUNLOP, do you have something against one of the biggest tyre manufacturers in the world. There’s a lot of loyal Dunlop owners who appreciate the road handling so a missed opportunity to do a comparison

So interesting! Thanks.

It's really surprising that the overall understeer/oversteer balance changes with different tyres. I'm guessing it's due to load sensitivity with some tyres benefiting more than others from being on the heavier end of the car?

I have been using Uniroyal Rainsport 3 & 5's for the past few years. They are ' A ' rated for wet weather. They have great grip and handling in rain and seemed not bad in the wet slushy snow. I tried a set of Hancock Ventus again ' A ' rated they were no where as good as the Uniroyal in the rain

I just replaced my bmw x3 RFTs with Continental Extreme Contact DSW 06 Plus. The ride is amazing, as I expected. Every new vehicle I’ve purchased over the past 15 years, I drove to Discount Tire the next day and put Continentals on it. Cannot match the ride as well as amazing handling. I’ve even taken off new Michelins and still got a better ride.

I know my Hankook tires only last about 20K miles out of the 60K warranty. Rough ride and road noise and so so fuel efficiency. I’ve had 3 sets of Hankook Optimo due to the warranty

Following your reviews for years and buying accordingly. Just bought an X3 and got new Bridgstone Alenza 001 tires with it. Very limited info or reviews available. What is your thoughts on this tyre?

Goodyear and hankooks are the most balanced tires . For the money go for the Goodyears if you wanna save a bit hankook

I'm just about to put Pi7 C2's on a golf R estate. Hoping i have made the right choice. I want a good all rounder that allows fun, but ultimately is safe and reliable for when I have got kids & dog in the car - any suggestions for some decent brakes to combine?

always the same brands being compared... boooring

Can u test tyres for SUV or a test summer-all season for SUV tyres, with an medium size Suv.

Im still miffed when looking up tyres and size the ratings wet, rolling and noise for same size vary.

Example
185 60 R15 84T.
Will show example
Bridgestone T005

A B 70
C B 68

How do I know which ones theyre putting on 🤷🏽‍♀️

Hideous accent

I think your reviews are great and whilst I can afford to buy expensive tyres there are many families out there at the moment who are really struggling. So they do not have much choice when it comes to buying tyres for their car. How about doing a really worthwhile test on budget tyres for families who just drive at normal speeds in all weathers, this would be doing a great service for thousands of families. Just a thought!

Have you ever checked the Nokian tires? The Michigan State Police run the WR G7 tires.

Generals have been my best tires. I have the RT45 on both of my cars. No complaints.

I guess every tire has good and bad except the cheapo brands. But I got good year assurance and they are horrible. I think for overall Michelin climate 2 are the best I heard or one of.

Where's Nokian?

I just bought Kumho Majesty's from tirerack. No complaints at the moment

Dębica is the best.

No Avon??

Awesome review!!

I have a 2015 Mazda 3 GT and was wondering how the continental extreme contact DWSO6 are rated for noise and comfort? Anyone out there have these tires and how do you feel about the road noise. ?

Currently i'm using the Hankook Ventus Prime 4 and absolutely love it! Dry grip, wet grip, handling all good. Priced well and quite fun to drive too

Thanks for the video! I have a question: what is the absolute thinest tire (for a light car) that has good grip? How thin is too thin? I have a project that works with ground effect; and every inch that can be gained by thinner wheels and tires is desired. Or, would I loose more then I gain?

I recently refused to buy by a bmw 320d until the dealer changed all the tyres for a decent tyre, they said,
but these are brand new ting tong rubber!

Why do you not test Dunlop ?.

Why are those tires stacked one above the other, that’s how you ruin the body, they should be side by side, any dealer that stacks their tires walk away find another dealer

The better the performance the higher the price!! 🤔👍

Never been a fan of Michelin or Goodyear tires, more of Pirelli guy

I will stick with pirelli p ziro.
